"Warpaint" lyrics

"Warpaint"

A woman in a man's world
Pullin a punch in every breath
Paint a rosy smile upon my face
While I fight at every step

But now that we're here
I can wipe all the warpaint from my face
Wipe away my tears
Wipe away my tears

Always had to fight my corner
The good stuff don't come to she who waits
Pick myself up each time I'd fallen
Paint perfect colours all on my face

And now that we're here
I can wipe all the warpaint from my face
Wipe away my tears
Wipe away my tears
And now that we're here
I can wipe all the warpaint from my face
Wipe away my tears
Wipe away my tears

And all these years
Just runnin' to survive
All these years
Brought me to this place in time
This place in time

And now that we're here
I can wipe all the warpaint from my face
Wipe away my tears
Wipe away my tears
And now that we're here
Gonna wipe all the warpaint from my face
Wipe away my tears
Wipe away, wipe away my tears

And now we're here
There's nothing, nothing left to fear
Gonna wipe away, gonna wipe away those tears
Nothing left to fear

Always had to fight my corner
The good stuff don't come to she who waits
